About
Camp Hanover Summer Camp offers faith-based overnight and day camp programs for elementary, middle, and high school youth. The camp is described as a Christ-centered community where people can experience God’s presence in the natural world and as a place where youth live, work, play, laugh, and worship together in Christian community. It is also described as a welcoming and inclusive camp and retreat center where visitors connect, refresh, renew, and grow all year long.
• Ages: 6–18 years old
Founded in 1957, Camp Hanover has nurtured generations of young people in the Christian faith and continues its ministry of education, outreach, and faith formation. Its mission is to create inclusive community, inspire each other to live in God’s love, and equip all people to live out God’s call. Camp Hanover is a fully accredited member of the American Camp Association and has maintained this accreditation for over 60 years. It is a Ministry Partner with the Presbytery of the James and Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to nurture and deepen the spiritual lives of congregations and to provide members with mission service and outreach opportunities.
Parents describe Camp Hanover as a place where “all are welcome” and say this is reflected in the care and love provided for everyone who visits. One parent reports that camp had a “wonderful impact” on their child’s character, and another describes camp as a turning point in shaping who their child is, gaining confidence, and realizing strengths. A parent of three campers shares that they have seen their children become stronger, more confident, and self-aware, and that each has found belonging, identity, and purpose through life lessons and relationships at Camp Hanover. Another parent notes seeing counselors playing with campers, being silly in appropriate ways, joining campers on the mud slide, and listening when needed, and says this is the experience they want their children to have.
